After hopefully getting parameter passing fixed (I hope, thanks Mark), I'm still facing this problem: dll using Firebird crashes on Windows and Linux Using a dummy db unit that does not connect to Firebird: everything ok.
Compiler options on a Windows compile: -MObjFPC -Scaghi -WR -Cirot -Os -gw2 -gl -vewnhibq -Filib\i386-win32 -Fu3rdparty\csvdocument -Fu3rdparty\fpspreadsheet -Fu. -FUlib\i386-win32 -O-1 -Cg -dFPCONLY -dDPDLLDEBUG Linux bt shows (the location of the error seems weird - perhaps memory messed up due to Firebird .so problems?) (gdb) run Starting program: /home/pascaldev/postcode/Source/dlldemo [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] Using host libthread_db library "/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libthread_db.so.1".

Should I enable other options? Longer term, I think this is a good reason to start PostgreSQL support and check if that works. Pointers/advice/requests for further info welcome, thanks. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
